Given a power generation facility, the end product is the electricity that is produced from the energy that steam supplies to the system. From now on we can say that uninterrupted steam production is essential to achieve this. This directly conveys the importance of feed water quality for the boilers. During the last fifteen years, the use of reverse osmosis in power generation facilities has become increasingly popular with new construction facilities. However, reverse osmosis is very easily modified for boiler water pretreatment systems in large and old power generation facilities, regardless of the fuel source. This article provides 5 operational parameters to consider before purchasing an RO system for your power generation facility.

Industrial reverse osmosis (RO) equipment is used exclusively in the boiler water pretreatment area of power plants. The quality of the boiler feed water has to be very strict, as most electric boilers tend to operate at high pressure (> 700 psi [4.8 MPa]). To achieve this, industrial reverse osmosis (RO) equipment is followed by a type of “purification” (denim) polishing equipment designed to reduce solids, especially dissolved silica in feed water. This indicates that industrial reverse osmosis itself is not capable of providing the quality of boiler feed water required for high-pressure boilers.

Most manufacturing companies today spend a lot of money on water resources. The main concern of these companies is to increase their return on investment (ROI). Industrial reverse osmosis or reverse osmosis is an aspect that can emerge as one of the best options to increase the return on investment with a minimum outlay. The industrial reverse osmosis process in simple terms if we define reverse osmosis (RO), it is a high-tech purification method or we can say water filtering. Osmosis is a process in which various solutions or liquids containing concentrations of dissolved minerals pass through a semi-permeable membrane.
